Peter,
We know that you are a unix/perl fan and there is nothing wrong with that
unless you become blinded by your likes to the point of not wanting to learn
what something else is about, or deciding it's inferior without knowing what it
is or can do.
Cold Fusion is similar in many ways to ASP or PHP. You can even create your own
Cold Fusion tags if you want to write compiled code, which means CF has no real
limitations. If you want to write code with the default tags (which is what
most do), your options are still extremely good.
Some info about the next version of Cold Fusion
"the next release of Cold Fusion
will add support for multi-tiered load balancing across multiple
machines, processes and threads, as well as failover and restart
capabilities. The 4.0 product will also support native database
connectivity to Oracle and Sybase, major component standards
such as CORBA, and provide enhanced security. "
